Scarce

That's been me lately. This has been a crazy busy week.

My close friend, John DeMers, wrote a musical Deep in the Heart. Every time he made headway with the script he would e-mail it to me. Whenever he wrote new songs, he would invite me to dinner and practice them on me. I watched this thing develop from the very beginning and finally, it was performed at The Hobby Center. I had always told him that I would be on the first row right in the center on opening night. And so I was. I'm so proud of him. Oh, and he needed to borrow my futon as a prop. It had a bit part in the musical. My sweet little futon, who knew?

My dinner with Naomi was nice. We visited for a long while. I think she's sincere, we'll see. I don't know why I was shut from the whole group and I probably will never know. She wants to hook up again and bounce a few things off of me. While there, she pulled out her Franklin Covey planner and I commented that I needed to get myself one. She gave me her old one: a beautiful burgandy suede binder. I love it and already I am feeling a difference in my organizational skills. I've done other things in conjunction but overall, I have a lot of control over all the details required for my work.

I spent Sunday brunch with my brunch group at Dharma Cafe. If you live in Houston or plan on visiting soon, I highly recommend this restaurant. It's a tiny cozy place with a great atmosphere. I am the only straight person in the group but I really enjoy spending time with these friends.

Then after brunch, I slept the rest of the day. I got up at about 6:00 and then went back to bed at 10:00. I took a tylenol P.M. and woke up again at 8:00. Sunday was the first day off I've had in about 20 days. I really really needed that sleep.

The evil Trent threw sweet innocent Julie onto my futon; then he pinned her down and told her that her prince charming would never come through for her.....

Trent was a "cowboy" jerk in the musical, but he pulled off a very likeable character. I met him this afternoon and he is so totally different from the character he played and he is so totally sexy but unfortunately has no interest in women. :(
